Ezio using a smoke bomb (E3 demo).

The smoke bomb is a weapon in Assassin's Creed II and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. Using a powder "technology" from the Far East, the bomb releases a smoke screen for 8 seconds when thrown, to allow Ezio Auditore da Firenze to flee his enemies, or assassinate them quickly in those seconds.

Smoke bombs are disposable and must be purchased for 350 florins each. Players can carry a maximum of three smoke bombs at a time, which are stored in a non-upgradeable pouch. Additionally, the smoke bomb is a useful way to get the achievements "No-Hitter," "Messer Sandman" and "Sweeper."

In Brotherhood, smoke bombs are also used by Assassin Apprentices, and by the multiplayer characters.
